BLUE RICE RECIPE / HOW TO COOK JASMINE RICE

BLUE RICE RECIPE

Japanese rice hails from Thailand. Japanese rice is shorter and rounder It’s a short-grained, starchy white rice that sticks to itself when boiled/steamed and becomes gooey/stretchy

It is sweeter flavor and a stickier texture. 

Japanese rice has a unique flavor that is different from other types of rice. Japanese rice is sweeter than other types of rice due to the way it is grown and milled. Japanese rice is also stickier than other types of rice, which gives it a chewy texture. 

Japanese rice is more expensive than other kinds of rice
